We invited local pastors and church planters to the Catalyst office today for a free lunch and a chance to take part in one of two activities: 1) to join Ben Arment for a round table discussion on church planting or 2) to watch Andy Stanley's Systems talk (DVD) from Catalyst 2007. 

It was an amazing day, and we were so thankful to get some face time with local leaders on the front line of ministry.  We want to meet those church leaders that live close to home!  Catalyst reaches thousands of leaders all around the world, I wonder how many leaders we have yet to meet that live or work within 20 miles of our office.  Hopefully we will get a chance to do this again...
